This is a Configure Dashboard problem that occurs when a layout is changed and the region
names of the new layout are not the same as the previous layout: for instance going from
generic (center, left) to modified3Column (left, middle, right).
What happens: the Page Layout area does a (partial?) refresh and APPEARS correctly, but
if you examine the HTML source it is using the old layout's region names. The impact
is that -- for mislabelled regions -- if you ADD a portlet instance it will get added to
the wrong region. For example after switching from generic to modified3Column, the second
region listed is labelled "Middle" (correct) but the underyling Input button is
named "layoutForm:a_left", so when you press ADD the portlet gets added to the
Left region (wrong).
To see this problem you need to either modify one of the pre-delivered layouts, for
instance renaming the "center" region to "middle" in the 3columns
layout, done by changing these 2 files and restarting:
jboss-portal.sar/portal-core.war/layouts/3columns/index.jsp
jboss-portal.sar/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/portal-layouts.xml
or create a new layout, for instance one with "alpha", "beta",
"gamma" regions.
Workaround: IF the user changes the LAYOUT and then leaves the Configure Dashboard and
then re-enters the Configure Dashboard, the screen is fully refreshed and the Page Layout
area is correctly rendered.
In this example I went from generic (center, left) to modified3Column (left, middle,
right), notice the first region is labelled correct (left region) but the element names
are incorrect (layoutForm:a_center):

I have more examples if needed.
It seems like org.jboss.portal.core.admin.ui.dashboard.DashboardBean updateTheme() needs
to force a full screen refresh somehow.
